Apparatus for separating cuvettes

An apparatus for separating cuvettes supplied in bulk form, wherein each cuvette comprises a body having side walls, a closed bottom and an upper opening, the apparatus comprising:

• a reservoir with an inlet for supplying cuvettes in bulk form to a reservoir space;
• a separator with an outlet for outputting separated cuvettes from a separator space in communication with the reservoir space;
• a reservoir spiral contained in the reservoir space configured to transport cuvettes to the separator space by rotating the reservoir spiral;
• and
• a separator spiral contained in the separator space configured to transport cuvettes to the outlet by rotating the separator spiral, wherein adjacent turns of the separator spiral have an inter-distance dimensioned such that a cuvette is held in a holding position in which projections projecting outwards from a body of the cuvette for receiving liquid rest on adjacent turns, with the body dipping into a spiral groove between the adjacent turns.
